33 Johnson St in Lynn
Urban Charm, Garden Soul: A Victorian with Room to Grow
1,285 sqft | 3+ beds | 2 full baths
Asking $489,000
Tucked in the heart of downtown Lynn, 33 Johnson Street is where 19th-century character meets 21st-century living. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Victorian is more than a home—it’s a little slice of urban paradise, complete with a rare double lot that’s been lovingly transformed into a vibrant garden retreat.
Inside, original hardwood floors stretch across both levels. The first floor was fully remodeled in 2010, offering modern comfort while preserving its classic appeal. You’ll find a first-floor bedroom and full bath—ideal for guests or multi-gen living—plus an updated kitchen with a new fridge and sink. Upstairs includes two more bedrooms and a bonus room that works beautifully as a home office, art studio, or cozy playroom.
Need space to create? Head downstairs to a large partially finished basement featuring greenboard walls, new washer and dryer, and plenty of room for storage, or even a work shop.
But let’s talk about what makes this place truly special: the lot. Once two parcels, now one, the oversized side yard is a gardener’s dream. Picture a series of curated perennial beds, pea gravel walkways, and raised vegetable beds—all designed to make the most of the seasons. Whether you’re hosting summer cookouts, planning weekend planting projects, or just kicking back in a lawn chair with a book, this space invites you to slow down and stay a while.
Practical upgrades include a time-tested slate roof, new windows and skylight, a repointed foundation, new hot water heater, and a new entry door—giving you peace of mind for years to come. And with 2–3 off-street parking spots, you’ve got room for visitors or a second car.
Location? Hard to beat. You’re right in the heart of downtown Lynn, a true cultural crossroads with a fascinating past and an exciting future. Grab coffee at Land of a Thousand Hills, pick up fresh-milled bagels at One Mighty Mill, or splurge on dinner at Nightshade Noodle Bar—just a few of the local favorites nearby. Lynn’s waterfront promenade, mural-dotted streets, and easy access to the commuter rail make it one of the North Shore’s most vibrant and evolving communities.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, an urban gardener, a remote worker, or just someone who values a home with soul and space to grow—33 Johnson Street is ready to welcome you.

A little about Lynn
During the height of the industrial age, Lynn was known as the “Shoe Capital of the World”. Its shallow bay wasn’t great for maritime commerce, but because of its equidistance between the busy ports of Salem and Boston, Lynn became known for its textiles and industrial innovation. And because of its proximity to two ports of interest, it also became of a hub for entertainment & folly. Hence the name “Lynn, Lynn City of Sin”. These days Lynn is known as a hardscrabble, working class, cultural melting pot with an amazing variety of architectural housing and commercial stock. It’s home to a breathtaking shoreline and promenade, and one of the largest municipal parks in the country. Over the past 10 years, the push to revitalize downtown has really hit another level with more restaurants opening their doors, a lovely array of multi-story murals, cafes, bike paths, and concert venues. Lynn has all the ingredients to be one of the great New England cities of the 21st Century.
